Explosive Fuel!
LPG is extremely fl ammable and is
heavier than air and tends to sett le in
low areas where a spark or fl ame could
ignite the gas. Do not start or operate
this engine in a poorly ventilated area
where leaking gas could accumulate and
endanger the safety of persons in the area.
NG is extremely fl ammable, is lighter
than air, and rises. Do not start or operate
this engine in a poorly ventilated area
where leaking gas could accumulate and
endanger the safety of persons in the area.
To ensure personal safety, installation and
repair of LPG/NG fuel supply systems
must be performed only by qualifi ed

installed and maintained LPG/NG
equipment could cause fuel supply system
or other components to malfunction,
causing gas leaks.
Observe federal, state and local laws
governing LPG/NG fuel, storage, and
systems.

and never run the engine in a closed
building or confi ned area.
WARNING
Explosive Gas can cause fi res and
severe acid burns.
Charge batt ery only in a well
ventilated area. Keep sources of
ignition away.
Explosive Gas!
Batt eries produce explosive hydrogen
gas while being charged. To prevent a
fi re or explosion, charge batt eries only in
well ventilated areas. Keep sparks, open
fl ames, and other sources of ignition
away from the batt ery at all times. Keep
batt eries out of the reach of children.
Remove all jewelry when servicing
batt eries.
Before disconnecting the negative

are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the
ground cable terminal which could cause
an explosion if hydrogen gas or LPG/NG
fuel vapors are present.
